12．阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文．
Many students in the colleges and universities are found taking no notice of the waste of water，electricity or paper．
There is a phenomenon which can often be seen in students'public washrooms．A basin of clothes is put under a tap which is turned on at the maximum，and the water in the basin is spilling over，but there is no one in the washroom．The owner of the clothes comes back and pours out half of the water in the basin．
The same thing happens in the use of electricity in the colleges and universities．During supper time，all the lights are turned on．However，there are only several or even no students in the classroom，which can hold over a hundred students．At night，some of the dormitories are locked，but the lights are still on inside．Quite a few students explain themselves that they don't have to pay the extra electricity cost even if they overuse it because they have paid the school fee already．
When typing the exam paper and thesis，many students type the paper only on the one side．Few students type the paper on the both sides．The reason is that they think the price of typing on one side or both sides on a piece of paper is the same．As a result，it causes a large amount of paper waste．

概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯．A number of students in the colleges pay no attention to the waste of water，electricity and paper，which causes a large amount of energy to be wasted．
In my opinion，it is wrong for college students to do so．It's a shame that many of them keep on wasting energy．They shouldn't do this even if they pay for it．So it is necessary for us students to enhance the awareness of saving energy．The waste and overuse of energy has influenced ecological balance，which will have a harmful effect on our environment and threaten our existence．
Personally，I think we can save much energy in our daily life．First，we can walk or ride bicycles to school．If schools are too far away from our homes，we can take buses instead of taking private cars or taxis．Second，we should write on both sides of paper．Besides，we can take reusable bags with us when shopping．Fourth，we can save electricity by turning off the lights or other electrical appliances when we sleep or leave the rooms．In addition，we can reuse the water after washing to clean the toilets．
In a word，as long as we make efforts，a lot of energy can be saved and the environment can be protected．．
13．For age the word has been going around that the dog is the man's best friend．I agree．A dog can be hardly as a night watchman around the house，as a pointer on a hunting trip，as a guardian and playmate for the children．But I think that having a dog for a pet is so expensive and annoying that I can do without such a friend．
Providing for the dog's needs is so expensive that the animals should be an income tax deduction（扣除）．There's the medical bill for shots to keep the animal healthy．Unless it's kept in the house 24hours a day，a female must be given"preventive maintenance"a ten-to twenty-dollar investment．Otherwise，before you know it，you'll have more"income tax deductions"in your family．And dogs have to eat．Don't think you can buy a case of Ken-L-Ration and be done with it．A dog can be as particular about food as a French expert．To feed even a Chihuahua，a very small Mexican dog，you'll spend three to five dollars a week．If you own a big，you need a large dog-house．They're expensive．A carpenter will build a luxurious model for about seventy-five dollars．For about thirty dollars'worth of materials，a weekend's work，and a smashed thumb，you can build a simple one yourself．And these are only the major costs．
A dog is so annoying that no one in his right mind would want to own one．Consider the dog owner blessed with a dog that fetches-slippers，rubber toys，newspapers．Have you eased your bare feet into slippers bitten by dogs，seen a living room destroyed by a toy boxer，tried to read a newspaper chewed to wet pieces by an obedient Boston bull？And dogs make noise．Some huge dogs bark all night．But you aren't the only one to endure sleepless nights； your neighbors let you know they didn't sleep either．Policemen are frequent visitors to dog owners'homes．They inquire about holes reported dug in neighbors'flower beds，prize cats injured and bleeding，and pet chickens and ducks sent to their reward．Suspect：your dog!You deny everything，of course．Rex，you assure the officers，was asleep by the door．But you secretly suspect him，because you don't really know where Pex was all week．And you remember wondering why feathers were floating in his water bowl yesterday．Dogs are annoying．Neither a fire-breathing mother-in-law nor a talkative wife prove more annoying to man than a dog．
Dog lovers will，of course，claim my argument one-sides，even exaggerated．They might consider me as cruel as the Russians，who possibly attempting to solve their own canine crisis--shot Fido into orbit．But the fact remains，if our best friends caused us the expense and annoyance our dog does，we'd soon encouraged them to become astronauts．


74．Which statement is NOT true about the dog as man's best friend？A

10．Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities，including Washington，DC．A growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from work．In fact，the number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007．
Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，popularly known as Virginia Tech．He has written a book about urban biking，called"City Cycling．"He says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular．
"Over the last 60to 70years．cities in the U．S．have been adapted to the automobile．"
"Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate highway system，from the federal government，starting in 1956．There was a 90percent federal match（补贴）so the cities only had to put up 10%．It was very tempting．"
In the years after World War Two，many Americans moved to suburban communities，just outside major cities，They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs．Their cars became a symbol of freedom．
But today，many people believe they can save money by living in the city．
Greg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association．"When a person makes a change from 04using a car to using a bike，they are saving anywhere between 8or＄9，000a year．"
Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles．"Building bicycling facilities is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport．"
Washington，DC has also taken steps to protect bike riders．It approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikes．
The United States Census Bureau says 4%of the city's workers ride to work by bike．The only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York．

46．What's the best title of the text？B
A．Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities
B．Bicycling to work in Washington，DC grows in popularity
C．Bikes result in new problems in Washington，DC
D．Washington，DC has taken steps to protect bike riders
47．What can we know from Ralph Buehler's statement？A
A．The federal govemment supported building public transport．
B．Government invested a lot to build bicycling facilities．
C．Cities didn't use the money from the government wisely．
D．Urban biking has been popular in the last 60to 70years．
48．In the years after World War Two，many Americans prefer toB．

17．Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearman's future is looking much brighter than he might previously have imagined．"I love bikes，but I've never thought I'd end up with working with them，"he says．"This program has changed my life．"
Karlos is learning to refurbish （翻新） old bicycles in the workshop （车间） of ReCycle Bikes，an independent non-profit bike project in Sheffield．It provides training chances for young people aged 14 to 16 with the help of the local government，particularly those struggling in mainstream education or rejected from school．
"It's about engaging young people with education and youth training by teaching them work and life skills，"explains Des Pearce，workshop training manager．"These young people have so much potential，but often don't realize it．"
Founded in 2001，ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public，which are sold for￡20 after refurbished．Abandoned bikes supplied by the government make sure a steady flow of bikes，but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve the further development．
"The student population presents a large and ready market，"says Pearce．"So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus （校园）．They thought it was a great idea，and agreed to provide us with more support．This means we can train young people to repair extra 500 bikes over three years．"
Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own，Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the profession development of those who have passed through his workshop．"But we are planning exit interviews with the young people to make sure what they plan to do，and these will allow us to check on their progress，"says Pearce．
That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is，according to Pearce，easily explained．"Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a flat tyre．As low-cost transport，cycling gives the young and old a sense of freedom and independence，and the effect on their well-being is big．Add to that a growing concern for the environment，and it's no surprise that bike sales are on the increase．"

7．阅读下面材料，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文．
On the morning after the rainstorm，a man was walking on the beach，enjoying the beautiful view of the nature．Suddenly，he found thousands of starfish（海星） trapped in the shallow puddles（水坑） on the beach．As the sun rose，the water in the puddles was disappearing and the starfish began to struggle for life desperately．However，they still had no hopes to go back to the sea not far away．
As the man continued walking，he noticed a little boy picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean．Then he went over and asked the boy，"What are you doing？"The boy replied，"I'm throwing starfish back into the water．If I leave them here，they'll dry up and die．"The man said，"But look how many starfish there are．What you're doing can't possibly make a great difference to all of them．"As the boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean，he said，"Well，it makes a difference to this one!"Then he added，"Though I can't save all of them，I can make some of them survive with my efforts．"
Moved by the lovely and warm-hearted boy，the man bent down to pick up the struggling starfish and threw them into water．Every time he threw the starfish into the water，he felt their fate was changing．

A man noticed a boy repeatedly picking up the trapped starfish and throwing them into the sea despite being unable to save all of them．Consequently，the man was moved and joined the boy to save the struggling starfish．
Reading the impressive story，I find the boy was so kind-hearted that he should really deserve praise from all the people．Young as he was，he fulfilled what was incredible to people．Actually，the young boy set a good example，especially to the young．
My meaningful experience of offering help to a schoolmate will never escape from my memory．When I was in Senior Two，one of my schoolmates suffered from a severe and rare disease，which cost his parents all their savings and even put them heavily into debt．For lack of money，he was unable to get further medical treatment．Knowing this，I together with my classmates called for all the students and friends to collect money for him．It was our timely efforts that helped him out of hardships．Eventually he was saved．
As the saying goes，"A small act of kindness goes a long way．"Therefore，I appeal to all the people to get involved in the campaign of offering a hand to others．I think only when we offer assistance to each other voluntarily can we live in a harmonious society．．

12．After watching my mother deal with our family of five，I can't understand why her answer to the question，"What do you do？"is always，"Oh，I'm just a housewife．"JUST a housewife？Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and clean-up，keeping the house clean，attending PTA meetings，leading a scout troop，paying taxi driver to us kids when it's time for  school，musical lessons or the dentist，doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife．She's the real Wonder Woman．
Why is it that so many mothers like mine regard themselves as second-class citizens or something similar？Where has this   stereotype  come from？Has our society made"going to work"outside the house more important than what a housewife must face each day？I would be curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would pile up and food in the house would run out．There would be no clean towels when needed．Walking and bus riding would increase．
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh，he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job，but how long would that last？Not long，once he had to come home each night after work to more housework．There would be no coming home to a prepared meal； the kids would all be screaming for something to eat，clean clothes and more bus fare money．Once he quieted the kids，he'd have to clean the house，go shopping，make sure that kids got a bath，after cleaning out all the dog hairs from the bathtub．Once the kids were down for the night，he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper．

32．What does the writer's mother NOT do according to the first paragraph？B

D．mothers are actually great women
35．The possible main idea of the third paragraph isC．
A．men should share housework with their wives

C．men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife
D．kids are the most challenging part of the housework．
